    Why Does Dish Network Refuse to Provide a Hard Copy of Pricing

    I don't ever remember dish providing a hard copy of their pricing like that, prices vary and can change without notice so the price on the flier does not have to match what you're finding now as it can change. It's possible that price was the going price during the start of summer and as it is...

    Why Does Dish Network Refuse to Provide a Hard Copy of Pricing

    My experience today while looking to return did not give the option for a hopper 3, it was limited to the hopper 2 so it's possible that either they do not have any in their inventory or they are trying to empty their remaining stock of 2's if it's being replaced by the 3.

    My advice, have your pillow talk voice ready, phone reps are getting hit hard by unruly customers and a nice pleasant experience can go a long way.;)

    Why Does Dish Network Refuse to Provide a Hard Copy of Pricing

    Prices vary in cable and satellite. Part of it is promotions and these vary by the vendor and third party involved. It also varies by location, equipment, packages, number of tv's and the agents can sweeten or sour the deal depending on how things go during their interaction with the customer...

    Lost 20.0 remote TV functions

    That's what I meant. Without opening up the remote at this point it's hard to say what exactly is wrong with it. Some times it can be a component that the solder has loosened up from being handled and dropped while other other times it can be liquids that have worked their way in or has just...

    Clean the spring and contact pads with acetone or a high grit number sand paper, oxides build up on these as does other things and can create an insulator that reduces or even blocks the flow of current into the device.

    How far out does the guide go?

    Just noticed that the guide on my 722k only goes out about 7 days as opposed to the 14 or so that it used to on some of the older receivers I had back a few years ago, is this typical or do I have a lemon?

    grounding in attic question

    Well if the installer cares about getting dinged and a charge back or a write up if he's inhouse then he will ground the entire system according to dns specs and nec specs. If you have home owners or renters insurance and something happens in relation to the dish system then the adjuster will...

    Peaking a EA dish

    If the instructions for the 1000.4 are the same as the super dish then all they are good for is putting the dish together not finding the settings for az and el and skew. Might be worth it to just have dish come out and tune it in properly.

    I have and also it is an issue with the Sony tv's and it won't always show up right away. When I last installed for dish it was around then back in 05/06 and I was the 5th or 6th tech to show up.

    Dish Network Customer Service SUCKS!

    Its more than the few who post here and dish's churn is getting up there. Some here are more knowledgeable but then many are average customers coming here to ask questions to learn more and others are here to vent and others to sling mud.
